Afternoon all what a scorcher! Its great to see so many of you using your bikes just now. We have had a few incidents lately of people acquiring free/cheap bikes that dont work very well. While were are happy to carry out all of your bicycle repairs when we are able. We cant, am afraid, compromise on safety. So, if you just want the bike to function but, we (in our opinion) dont think that its safe we wont, am afraid, do any work on it. We dont want to come across as been on a customer prevention course and we nearly always do more work we dont charge for but, am afraid we have a moral compass as well as spend a lot on insurance and am sorry but we cant compromise safety. "Just do the brakes" when the tyres are not fit for air, is not something we can help with. Gears not working, missing grips, torn saddles even mismatched pedals, we dont judge and these not a safety issue so your choice. There will be plenty of people saying "well the customer can get what they want done" and your right but, if while leaving our shop the tyres disintegrate and the rider ends up in the road, who is going to be under the spotlight and at risk of liability? And your right its "their choice" but its also "our choice" not to be complicit in your bad choices and not want any liability. Sorry bit negative but, had to be said. Anyways on a better note as we are heading towards the summer holidays July tends to be quite busy so, we have stocked up with a few new bikes and will be working extra hours to make sure your bikes are fit for your holidays. We also have a few pre owned bikes that have all been through our workshop. Have a great week Y'all and drink plenty 🍻....Oh and some water when you can 😜😘
